<div class="gmail_quote">Jack uses the ffado driver to connect to the devices. You require ffado support for any firewire soundcard on linux at this time. -Eric On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 4:58 PM, Steve Meiers <<a href="mailto:tekrytor@yahoo.com">tekrytor@yahoo.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;" valign="top"> Luke mentioned "Only jack supports firewire audio devices at this time." in his previous message, copied below. I have a few questions regarding Jack's firewire support. How well does Jack support firewire? Do I still need a ffado supported device and driver to use within Jack or does Jack support any and all firewire audio devices without additional drivers, etc? Basically, is it plug-and-play, like most USB midi or USB audio devices that I plug into Ubuntu? So far, there are no ffado drivers for my ADAT-firewire hardware; so it would be very cool, but I suspect the answer is sadly no. Thanks.

In order to get sound via the firewire device from youtube etc, you would need to set up alsa using apps to go via the alsa -> jack plugin.
